@mathrania, Thank you for opening the thread. i have the same problem of yours and we live in the same city!

@all

I have the same exact problem of the OP's.

WiFi has perfect signal, Perfectly connected but data transfer just does not happen. I need to turn WiFi Off and then ON to get the connection working and then in a minute the problem comes back!

I am running stock JB 4.1.1 and my phone's mother board has been recently changed last week by HTC.

Adding to this JB 4.1.1 does not connect to Enterprise networks which is a well known issue in android 4.1.1 which makes me unable to connect my phone in office... so it's like completely un usable wifi.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

I may not completely agree that it is a router issue because i have my nexus 7 which in-fact helped me to identify that my phone suffers a problem.

Even my Sony Xperia Arc works fine..

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Yes it definitely is annoying, i too had the same issue with ICS ... but i took it so seriously, it was my nexus 7 which made me realize that i have a problem.. the notifications were there on the N7 and the HOX slept nicely without anything :-/

The service center before replacing my motherboard claimed that it works fine. i would not agree and sent it back, i had an unlocked bootloader and they took special approval to change the motherboard and still the same problem!

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Thanks for the advise.. i would definitely love to have a solution for the issue. If i remember correctly i had the problem even on my office network.. in other words, was just wondering if you had the problem in all networks ?

Again to make the issue more clear, the WiFi gets connected, however the data transfer dies in sometime, at the same point of time the signals are clear and strong.

i can be 100% sure that this issue is not the same as the famous manufacturing issue with HTC one X as i got my motherboard replaced last week for the same problem and still face the issue.
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Thanks for advice... But i dont have a problem with connecting to wifi.... The problem is that data transfer stops after a while and its only after JB update......
[HTC One X] mathrania:
I have same problem.... Are you sure its not hardware related... For me it happens with all wifi connections.....
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
I am not saying that this is not a hardware issue, i am saying that this is not the same issue as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688538 .. i think you would have already read the other thread.

For me also it happens in all connections.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

i should say that this problem has become more evident after the Jelly bean update. I think back and recollect that this problem was there in ICS but in Jelly bean it is noticeable very easily.
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
I believe your right that you have a different issue to the infamous grip of life wifi issue.

If you did suffer the grip of life problem you would struggle getting a connection with your/any router, (unless you squeezed your phone) you don't struggle connecting to the router so don't do the "squeeze test" or it could damage the phone further.

I'm no expert with your issue, but if it happens on stock rom then it could be hardware related, but you already know this.

Best of luck and sorry I can't help further.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Thanks, no problems.. i am going to record a video to get the problem across to HTC and our forums for help :)
[HTC One X] pappas99:
pretty sure its not hardware related because it doesn't happen on all routers/networks. If you've only tested it on one or two then try on a couple others and see. for me it only occurs on one or two out of about a dozen wifi networks
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
My colleagues have the same One X, they never reported anything and not even in office, while for me it does not work :/

I would say that this issue might not be easily noticeable to a common user ( at least before the JB update). As said by the OP, it is very much noticeable after the JB update.
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Been thinking about this problem.

Could this be firewall related? Stopping the info getting through? Either the routers firewall or one installed on your phone?
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Nothing on my phone at-least, i have almost all the apps disabled now for testing!!!

i am uploading my video, will post it here and going to send it to HTC service center to have a look and suggest !
[HTC One X] pappas99:
cheers, please keep this thread updated with anything from HTC
[HTC One X] walkerx:
I reverted back to stock earlier and performed full wipe and then factory reset and wiped the whole sdcard. So far I've been connected to internet for 90 minutes when previously it would be a few minutes. Will see if still connected when get up in morning
[HTC One X] boe323:
try stock Jb 4.2.1 fom pabx, works at treat.You know, I have the same issue but on carrier band 3g/H lol, I think that's related to my network booster though, nothing to do with pabx rom,as it happened on factory software.
[HTC One X] walkerx:
Issue with WiFi not 3g - and if need to send back then must be stock
[HTC One X] boe323:
I know, I was just saying.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
I set up my friends HOX last night to connect to my wifi same issue it connects allows a little data then disconnects, entered settings in my previous post and all was fine. This problem is not specific to HTC, JB or ICS I have encountered this on previous android builds as well and had to manually configure the phones wifi to connect. In almost all cases it's software not hardware related.

Sent from...... The Milky Way
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Just to make sure, are you telling that the WiFi disconnects? For me and OP here, our WiFi does not get disconnected at all. The device connects to WiFi and shows the WiFi Signal always (its connected in other words), but there is no data transfer stops randomly after sometime.

A new finding that i have is that if i leave it just like that, it connects back in sometime.
[HTC One X] mathrania:
But if it connects again, does it remain connected permanently?
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
No it does not... weirdly i have not faced the problem so much in the morning, but yesterday night it was horrible.

Just wrote to HTC Service Center Techno Care, will have to call them and talk to them during the day!
[HTC One X] maxilick:
That has also occurred and my initial post in this thread had also remedied the problem.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Thanks, i would try that today. If i remember correctly i had problems with my office connection also, which makes me think if i am going to have to do the same for all the WiFi connections.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

I am in stock completely without bootloader Locked :) i am having the issue.. Happens to be Irregularly.. today morning it was good for me but yesterday night it was horrible.

So what did HTC say about your problem ? you said you were still in discussion about this.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
P.S

If your lazy to input manually there are wifi fix apps on Play Store. Have used some on other phones with favorable results.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Cool, is this the one you are talking about.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer&hl=en
[HTC One X] maxilick:
Can't remember the apps name as it was some time ago I used them, you could give it a go and if not working uninstall. Just check the reviews and make sure its compatible with JB and HOX.

edit 3 out of 4 reviews say that this Wifi fixer works on HOX
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
ok, found another one here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21406675

will give both a try
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Also let me know what does our dubai HTC customer care says... By chance i was in Al qusais and went to visit the HTC centre(last time i visited it was 3 years back with my Touch pro 2)... But the customer care was not their.... Didnt took much headache to inquire about the new address as i know my device is fully rooted with a custom rom... So HTC wont bother....

Please let me know if you get any solution.....

Thanks...
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Talked to service center and made them understand the problem, it is weird for them given that they recently changed the motherboard.

They are going to escalate to HTC taiwan/headoffice, it is weird even for them

I have also mentioned that there is another person in Dubai who is suffering the same problem.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

BTW, this is my video recording of the issue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFn0CYtQioQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzPEnUvqQUI
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Saw the videos.... I want to ask you...

Did you try making you HOX as wifi hotspot ( while hox using data package) ... Does it work?

Also on the lock screen you had a clock widget... How did you set it?
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Yupp used it as WiFi hotspot works, not tried it for long time .. have only tried it for short intervals.. are you not able to do that also?

For the Lock Screen --> in the personalize app, Lock screen -> productivity.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

So, does the video confirm that the problem that we are having is the same ?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Yes... Data transfer stops after a while, but wifi signal is strong still.....
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
did the wifi fix application do any thing for you ?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Yes... Not working at all for me.....
[HTC One X] walkerx:
So far since I went back to stock rom yesterday and then performed a full factory wiping all data on the device (including sdcard), so far my wifi has not disconnected (ie full signal but no data transfer) and also my battery is now on 73% after 11h and that's with using the phone today as well.

Previously i would have to recharge again by late afternoon as it would have dropped below 20%

I think there maybe a bug when people update to JB from ICS even on stock as a lot of stuff is not removed and some things are stored on the sdcard which may affect the performance of the device.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Guys I think I fixed the problem. I set the 802.11 Mode setting in my router to Mixed 802.11 B & 802.11 G.

The HOX or any latest device with WiFi supports 802.11 B, G and N, this problem occurs if I configure my router to have 802.11 N or any other mixed mode with 802.11 N

Pretty sure that this is the problem, I had an Archos Tablet which suffered the same problem. In fact there were no data transfer with it, it just shows connected and nothing happens on the tablet.

Now, I would need to know if this is a software bug or a hardware issue or if the router is bad. I can't really blame the router as always other devices work perfectly.

It is to be noted that setting WiFi to only 802.11 B and G is like going a step backwards.

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Agree with you on the battery life, jelly bean has improved it

The service center was also suggesting me to do a factory reset. I think I am going to try that.
[HTC One X] walkerx:
yeh - HTC advised to perform a factory reset (but never mentioned about the wiping of the sdcard), but a previous one had made no difference, so I tried the Viper Rom which also experienced the same problem. So last night I went back to stock and performed the full wipe so nothing could interfere with it.

On checking phone power I'm now on 13h 25m @ 67% which is a fast improvement from before the wipe.

And I'm using wireless N on phone and both my router and access point are set to only use N
[HTC One X] mathrania:
I will check that too... So its working fine now?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Yep.. My batt is worst... I will try to wipe SD card as well this time... Lets see if it works great for me
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Thanks, my phone has a new motherboard last week which means its already new.. i don't wish to do a wipe again.. i am already on stock.. guess have to try that as the last option.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

I tried the WiFi fix application. It actually helps, i can see that this application actually resets the WiFi and fixes the connection when the data flow stops, but does not cure it SOMETIMES and also it requires the service to be running to monitor the WiFi which i don't think is acceptable as a permanent solution.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Whenever i set my router to 802.11 B & G works perfectly but with N its problematic!
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Well.... I confirm this.... Working since last 5 minutes..... But setting my router on B & G mode would affect connectivity to any other devices... Before it was set to mixed B, G & N mode...... But i think this is some bug with HOX not router... Some dev would be having more knowledge regarding this problem......
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Do you mean with B & G your other devices are not connecting???
[HTC One X] mathrania:
They r connecting... But just asking if it would affect something....
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
No it does not but we are actually setting the WiFi router to perform at a lower speed / older standards.

My concern would be to check if this happens in all 802.11 N connection, because i don't want to go around in all the places that i visit (say friends place) to set it to 802.11 B & G.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

@OP - So now the problem is solved for you?
[HTC One X] mathrania:
With wifi on mixed B & G... Its working great..... But i cannot configure every router... Like as u said if u visit your friends.... So need a proper solution......
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Going to test and compare a friends HOX with mine in a Mixed B, G N connection tonight. If the other HOX works fine, then its going to get more interesting :)
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
I choose to reset all setting in my HOX and after the update, the phone seems to be fine connecting to all networks/all configurations.

I don't understand what is happening now :)

@op - you tried a reset right? now i am trying hard to get the problem back :P LOL
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Not working... I did full wipe twice......
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
I remember doing a reset couple of times before but this problem was not fixed, this time the reset seems to have fixed the issue .. guess you are not worried any more about the WiFi problem as the router settings fix it.
[HTC One X] walkerx:
since my reset its been working a lot better. I had issue this morning was on way out so will what happens when get home.

not spending anymore time on problem as hopefully nexus 4 arrives in 2 weeks so will put HTC in cupboard
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Thanks for the update, my phone also has been lot better after the reset but i think its not perfect , i think there are momentary disconnections but gets cleared up very soon.

i wish the problem comes back lol, because the service center is still wondering a solution to the problem.. in case the problem repeats like your case later on, i don't want to get into the same issue later and waste time...

You are lucky to get a N4, we don't have that option.. the thought crossed my mind, but i was like come on this device has not even been with me for six months!!!

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Guys, i have a request for you. Can you install this app from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.NanoDinamics.NovaTester&hl=en and present here a screen shot here.

I had my phones battery replaced 2 time as per HTC, the latest battery with JB does not seem to impress me while the previous battery with JB seemed to impress me.
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Mine HOX is almost 10 months or more... As soon as i finish my contract with etisalat, i will look for something else... Till that wifi is working for me at home.. And outside i have a 2GB data package..... It serves my purpose....
[HTC One X] walkerx:
Only ordered the N4 on Wednesday afternoon, just received email it's been shipped and was originally quoted upto 2 weeks

Also when got back it wouldn't connect immediately to my wifi network - took a couple of page refresh requests to do it but finally got there

I did notice though that even with the auto-switch if signal weak, this isn't actually working correctly and switching to the stronger signal
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Ship your HOX to me :P Congrats all the best!!
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
Our sell it to a dev on here

Sent from a Blunt smoker
[HTC One X] walkerx:
I was thinking about selling it, but decided to keep as emergency phone in case the N4 or the wife's iPhone has any problems, then at least we have a spare phone
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
better to keep one, lesson learnt after having a HOX
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Did your issue re-occur again?
[HTC One X] walkerx:
i mentioned it further up

but yesterday and today it been fine

I find that sometimes it's when it been asleep for a while even though it's been set to always keep wifi alive

tomorrow should be last day using it though as my N4 should be delivered tomorrow - hopefully won't have to go to depot to pick it up
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Same here dont seem to have the problem re-occur again!
[HTC One X] :
Is there any way to force the one x only to use the wlan b and g standard and not n? tried to switch my router to wlan b&g-only mode and one x performed much better but i can't keep it like that because other devices now have a much shorter range because of no wlan-n.
[HTC One X] walkerx:
will say though that the wifi on the N4 is a lot better than the HOX

couldn't hit over 30Mbps on HOX using Wireless N - same settings on N4 and initial tests are over 40Mbps
[HTC One X] bbredewold:
Sabotage :p

THIS IS STRANGE :)

I have the same problem with my ONE X. (Here in Holland).

Data drops, WiFi Signal stays good.

But at the moment the data drops, no other device in my home-wifi network is working anymore!

So when this HOX problem occurs, my Galaxy Nexus is not working anymore and is experiencing the same problem...

So the One X really is sabotaging my home network!

EDIT: 01:26

I have a Fritzbox 7390 Router. It seems that more people with this router + the HOX have the same problems...

Date of puchase: April 2012

Problems occuring: Since the JB update...
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
perform a reset

no we don't seem to have one. Why don't you try to do a full reset / reset settings couple of times.

The reset seems to solve the issue

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Thats called as evolution of technology :) enjoy your N4!

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

had the same problem with my Archos tablet, when it was connected to the network, the internet/modem hangs.

Try to configure your router to B & G only or try to reset your HOX and see if your problem goes away.
[HTC One X] bbredewold:
But you have to agree that this workaround is not a real solution...
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Read the full sentence :) try a reset on your HOX

Seeing couple of issues related to WiFi after Jelly bean update.. May be a RUU will be of much better help.
[HTC One X] :
tried to set my wifi router to channel 6 with wlan-n activated but disabled the 300 mbit mode (only 150 mbit max). work partly: one x and all the other devices work now but the one x only reaches 800 kilobyte instead of 2 megabyte but i don't loose the connection anymore. maybe a semioptimal solution but better than what was before.

btw: i have a speedport w503v (the same hardware like a fritzbox but looks different and only works with the deutsche telekom). i think this might be a fritzbox-HOX specific problem.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
i would not blame the router, i am going to experiment with N mode and specific channels and frequencies to see if i can get it. Would request if you can also try to get the issue with some specific channel on 300 / 150.

After reset i seem to not face the issue again which makes me think it could only be a software issue on the HOX
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
The latest finding is that the issue is not relevant to Wireless mode, however it is depending on the channel of the WiFi.

I put my modem to 802.11 B & G (which was supposed to be the fix) and also set my WiFi to channel 1. I have heard to keep the WiFi at the highest channel possible however i wanted to test with the lowest one.

The issue occurs again with this channel configuration even if it is 802.11 B & G mode.

Will try to check some more settings and post back .
[HTC One X] death__machine:
My Phone does the exact same thing when connecting to this cafe router(I go there everyday) there'll be a good signal but I won't be able to use internet. And I'm pretty sure this started after flashing 1.39. Home wifi and a few others work fine. Tried two roms on this hboot till now.

So I can't exactly reset my phone can I? To try to solve this problem that is.
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
Give it a try, i don't really think that is a permanent solution.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
If I reset whilst being on a Custom Rom what happens? I don't wanna be stuck without a usable phone :P
[HTC One X] pradeepvizz:
What do you mean? reset on custom ROM will reset your custom ROM only. All your data has been overwritten already when you flashed it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wemsinho:
Hi!

I hope some someone can explain me:

Why is it obviously so difficult (or not possible?) to root the XT925 Razr HD without downgrade to ICS if you are already on JellyBean? I read a lot of things and there everytime the poeple wrote about the VoodooKeeper thing and the downgrade.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idless:
I am also quite interested in this this! In particular, as going back ICS will require that i unlock the bootlock and loose the warranty (at least that is my understanding). I do not wish to sacrafice warranty "just" to get root, something that was very easily done on my old xperia (with or without locked bootlock)

I still love my razr hd (xt925) for lots of other reasons though!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintonroche:
You don't have to unlock or loose warranty to go back to ICS. You do however have to root.

IMO, their is not JB exploit so far because it is so easy to roll back to ICS root.... then use root keeper to hold root thru the update. So no real reason for anyone to work on a root exploit yet. Takes maybe 10-15 minutes if that.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
I just got a XT295 from germany just to fix the damned ril issues ive been having in my root call management apps. But it was running 4.1.2 out of the box, with a locked boot.

Am i right in assuming theres a way to root it with that RSDLite tool? I have never owned a moto device, so know nothing about this tool or how it works with a locked bootloader.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
In don't really understand your statement. If you're unrooted on JB, in order to root you definitely have to rollback to ICS... and this requires an unlocked bootloader.

So if you're unrooted, with a locked bootloader, on JB, there is no way you can rollback to ICS if you don't wish to void your warranty by unlocking the bootloader ?? (once you're on ICS, root/voodo/ota upgrade is good to go)

Or maybe I have missed something and there is a way to downgrade to ICS with a locked bootloader ??? If so, i'd be *very* interested...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steiger:
There is a way to downgrade with locked bootloader. Use Matt's tool.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
I've tried already, but it doesn't work. T my understanding (and after reading a bit the thread dedicated to Matt's tool) I'd say you must have an unlocked BL to downgrade...
